My Life in Dog Years

Summary: I laughed, I cried!
Review: As an avid Gary Paulsen reader, I was delighted to discover this book when one of my students shared it with me. I took it home and finished it in an hour or two. Never have I read a book that captures the essence of the love of and from a dog as in this one. I especially loved Caesar, or as a little girl wrote it, "Seezer." As always, Gary Paulsen writes with an uncanny ability to place a person in his shoes and takes them on an emotional rollercoaster. I found myself reflecting on the dogs I have loved throughout my life and wanting to jot down a little something about all of them. A must-read for every dog-lover!

Review: I chose this book, bcause it really looked interesting. This book is about the author, Gary Paulsen, and some of his dogs he has owned. My favorite dog was Josh, because he was the smartest and he always watched over his owner and friends. My favorite part was when another dog of his, Quincy, had jumped out of Paulsen's car into Dairy Queen. Over all, this book was too good to put down.

Summary: Dog Lover;s Young and Old Will Love This Book!!
Review: Oh! This is a book worth reading. Basically Gary Paulson devotes each chapter to one of several dogs that played an important role in his life. An animal lover to the hilt, Paulsen will introduce you to dogs that protected him, hunted with him, played with him and just hung out with him on his ranch.

Each story is tender and gives the reader glimpses into Paulsen's childhood (riddled with alcoholism and neglect)as well as his adulthood (filled with dogs, horses and a person or two!)

Written at a sixth grade reading level, this book would be a great read-aloud at bedtime for kids six and up. Both kids and adults will want to get up and hug the family dog goodnight once they finish a single chapter in this gem of a book. What a find!

Review: What a wonderful book, simply written in E.B. White style, with each chapter a jewel. I cried at the end of each installment! I purchased three copies as gifts for others. A must read, and not just for children, for doglovers of all ages.
